Teaching Clinical Reasoning Without Giving Away the Answer

About the event

College of Veterinary Medicine Teaching Academy

Workshop

Students often arrive at the correct answer without fully understanding why. In both classroom and clinical teaching environments, educators face a common challenge: how do you help learners develop clinical reasoning without simply telling them the answer? This interactive session explores practical strategies for making student thinking visible, uncovering misconceptions, and guiding learners toward deeper diagnostic thinking through questions that promote justification, comparison, and reflection.
